  1. Bracketology - Let's Do This

    Been a fun first 2 rounds. Not surprising it has been at least as unpredictable as ever. Half of the P6 conference tournament winners lost their first round game. FWIW, on the VCU-Oregon game. It sounds like it was a decision by the Marion County Health Department in conjunction with the...

    I believe everyone for UVA is a go except for Justin McCoy, who supposedly is not there and was almost certainly the player who tested positive last week.
  3. Bracketology - Let's Do This

    Having conference tournaments a week before the NCAA started was always a bad idea. And the reason they happened is because the conferences and the schools that make them up wanted those tournaments for the money. (I've heard alot of coaches would have been happy not to have them). It's the...
  4. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    Moses is worth at least a net 20 points. It's not just about what offense he would provide but also how many points he prevents the opponents from scoring.
  5. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    GT defensively made the strategic plan it was going to try to limit Krutwig (by constantly digging the perimeter players to the post) and see if someone else on Loyola would step up and beat us. Given what we had to play with and Loyola stats (Krutwig is the only player on the team that has...
  6. Bracketology - Let's Do This

    This is slightly off. ACC had 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 seeds. By pure seeds ACC should have won 2 games. By winning percentage by seed ACC should have won 2.37 games. What hurts the most is the ACC had 2 matchups against the B10 and lost them both. Win one and things look a fair bit different. And...

  8. Coaching Carousel 6 - You can't make everyone happy. You are not bacon.

    Basically zero. All signs rigtht now point to AZ letting Miller coach out his contract and even if they make a move, Pastner will not be high on their list.
  9. Bracketology - Let's Do This

    Bingo. If you don't win any games you can't poke fun at other's performances - it just rings hollow.
  10. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    TO's were the other big story, we needed a game like so many where we forced alot of TO's. Going into this game GT was 7th nationally in TO Margin at +4.8. It ended up -1 in this game. GT needed to be +6-7. I thought GT had a very good gameplan. After about 10 min Loyola was able to make...
  11. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    Based on our contract with Adidas, winning the ACC Tourney was way more important. That title is getting GT an extra $900K over the next 3 years.
  12. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    Loyola was the better team today. My hats off to them, they are a good team. Our team fought hard without our best player (and only big right now) and it wasn't enough. rebounding and 3-pt shooting were the differences in the game. Defensively we were sagging to prevent them from getting good...
  13. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    FWIW, I think this game will come down to TO's. In their 4 losses they avg 16.5 TOG, in their 22 wins 11.2, 14 against WI, 18 against Richmond, 15 against Ind St, 19 against Drake. I expect Howard to start, but i also don't think he'll last a whole game, he avg a foul every 5 min. He is likely...
  14. Pastner earns some bonuses, but Adidas about to pay up some cash to GT

    https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/georgia-tech-josh-pastner-due-bonuses-after-acc-championship/6U7JHDLRQFAQ5GFIRA53YLLLNE/ Pastner has earned an additional $50K for winning the ACC Title and $25K for making the NCAA Tourney. A win Friday would earn an additional $50K. He gets another $25K...

    Something to keep an eye on as the Tourney gets underway and we start hearing about a few positives, it can take some time for the positives to start growing. Duke now has 7 basketball players testing positive for COVID

    Couple of Covid updates OK 2nd leading scorer is out for this weekend Kansas is expecting to get David McCormack back in time for Saturday's game but Tristan Enaruna and leading rebounder and 3rd leading score Jalen Wilson are out.

    I actually read an article from the San Diego Tribune last week (it's from October) that says that isn't quite correct. Basically every senior gets the extra year, but you only don't count against schlarship limits if you stay at your current school...

    My feelings with coaches at GT are pretty simple. I may not have wanted one hired, but once they are hired they are 'my coach' until the day they are not at GT anymore and I hope they win every game. His first year bought him a signficant amount of good will with me. That was one of the best...
  19. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    This year it is harder than others to compare teams across conferences because there were alot fewer OOC games. Those games are what allows the various models and metrics to calibrate teams across conferences. As far as Greenberg, he could certainly be 100% correct, though I hope he is not. We...
  20. Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

    I agree with you 100%. I don't like seeing him because I think he inserts himself too much into the game. Just pointing out it is more an issue with fans than with coaches. It is definitely a big issue with fans of most fanbases though.
